Police investigating the report of a hit and run in north Belfast have arrested a man.

The collision happened on Saturday March 1 when shortly before 11.30pm it was reported that a male pedestrian and a white van had been involved in a collision outside the Mater Hospital.

The white van did not stop following the collision and made off from the scene.

The male pedestrian, aged in his 30s, sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision and currently remains in a critical condition in hospital.

A 23-year-old man has since been arrested on suspicion of a number of offences and currently remains in custody.

Officers would ask anyone who was travelling on the Crumlin Road late on Saturday night and who witnessed the collision or captured dash-cam footage which could assist with police enquiries to contact them at Tennent Street on 101, quoting reference number 1797 01/03/25.
